In just 90 minutes, an attorney whose practice includes elder law will help you answer such questions as:
- Who is the client? Often a senior seeking elder law advice will be accompanied by his or her children.
- What is the client’s capacity? It is crucial to assess capacity and perceived diminished capacity in order to advise the client effectively.

Presented by Travenia A. Holden
Travenia A. Holden of Dodson, Parker, Behm & Capparella PC
Ms. Holden's practice includes probate, employment and business-related law, and, in particular, the practice of elder law. She also serves as a contract attorney for The Division of Mental Retardation Services in assisting families with obtaining conservatorships in state contractual facilities.
"Not only are you helping a person in need, but you’re also offering some relief to his or her family, and making sure that person’s resources are not exhausted," she says. "It’s very satisfying."
Holden is a member of the Napier Looby Bar Association, the Lawyer's Association for Women, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, and the Tennessee Bar Association, where she serves as a member of the Executive Council of the Elder Law Section, as well as a member and fellow of the Nashville Bar Association.
She has co-authored chapters with Margaret L. Behm on Elder Law, Guardianships, and Conservatorships in the Tennessee Practice Series. She holds a bachelor's degree from Howard University in Washington, D.C., and earned her juris doctorate from North Carolina Central University in Durham, N.C. Active in her community, she and her husband live in Lebanon, Tennessee, with their two children.
Prior to entering private practice, she served as in-house counsel to Access Health Systems, Inc. and Medical Care Management Company, Inc., where she was involved in healthcare management, contract preparation and negotiation. In addition to providing advice on corporate governance issues and regulatory requirements, she also served as litigation manager for both companies and worked with outside counsel on the investigation, review and resolution of litigation and regulatory disputes.
As an Assistant Attorney General with the Office of Attorney General, Holden defended the State of Tennessee on employment issues in the administrative, state and federal courts. She also provided legal opinions to legislators across the state on matters that directly affected their constituents.
Her early professional experiences in higher education prepared her well for managing the delicate balance between academia and legal administration. As an Assistant General Counsel to the Tennessee Board of Regents and Vice President and University Counsel to Chicago State University in Chicago, Ill., Holden managed a wide range of issues involving discrimination, harassment and policy implementation.
